Beamer calls S.C. 'dream job' amid Hokies chatter

South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer has dismissed rumors that he is a candidate for the vacant head coaching position at Virginia Tech. Beamer, who is in his second year as the Gamecocks' head coach, stated that his current role at South Carolina is his "dream job" and that he is fully committed to the program. The rumors surfaced amid the ongoing search for a new head coach at Virginia Tech, Beamer's alma mater, following the departure of Justin Fuente. However, Beamer has reassured the Gamecocks' fanbase that his focus remains on South Carolina and that he has no plans to leave the university. Beamer, the son of legendary Virginia Tech coach Frank Beamer, has led the Gamecocks to a 6-6 record this season, securing their first bowl game appearance since 2018. His statement underscores his dedication to the continued development of the South Carolina football program and his desire to build upon the progress made during his tenure.
